No cap—navigating the chaotic streets of Manila requires a serious vibe check.
We don’t want a boring car. If you’ve been looking to transition into your eco-friendly, electric vehicle (EV) era, GAC Philippines just delivered exactly what we needed.
Say hello to the all-new GAC AION UT. A compact hatchback that is heavily serving runway-ready Milanese style mixed with high-tier tech.
It’s already a massive hit across Europe, Thailand, and Latin America. Now it’s officially here to level up our local roads.
Reviewers are already calling it “Big Car Energy” because it brings the substance and breathing room of a much larger vehicle into an agile, city-friendly footprint.
The Three Pillars: Why It’s Giving What It Needs to Give
Inside the futuristic cockpit, you are greeted by an 8.88-inch digital cluster and a massive 14.6-inch Touch Control Central Screen. These effortlessly runs wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The tech seamlessly blends into your daily routine, especially when it comes to charging. Built with GAC’s ultra-safe “Magazine Battery” tech, the 47.1 kWh battery supports DC Fast Charging, letting you juice up from 30% to 80% in about 30 minutes—basically the exact amount of time it takes to step away and grab an iced matcha latte.
Beyond the everyday commute, the car is designed to adapt entirely to your lifestyle. The cabin is incredibly thoughtful, boasting 24 clever storage compartments to keep your gear organized, alongside a generous 440-liter boot space that expands significantly when you fold the rear seats flat.
You are who you drive!
The real game-changer for weekend road trips or beach getaways is its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability. This feature effectively turns your car into a giant, mobile power bank, allowing you to plug in and run your electronic devices wherever you park.
When you’re navigating tight city routes or unpredictable traffic, the advanced safety suite takes the anxiety out of the drive.
It features Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), a 360-degree Surround View Camera for stress-free parking, massive 2.1-meter side curtain airbags, and an intelligent system designed to prevent reverse mis-acceleration.
Under the hood, the Elite variant is perfectly optimized for responsive urban driving, pushing out 136 PS (100 kW) and 180 Nm of torque.
GAC is also letting you customize the vibe to match your personal aesthetic with a gemstone-inspired palette, featuring sleek contrast-roof options like Champs-Elysees Beige, Emerald Green, Rococo White, Seine Silver, and a standout two-tone Rococo White with an Emerald Green roof.
No-Stress Ownership
If you’re looking to lock it in early, the AION UT Elite FWD (EV) is currently sitting at a special introductory price of PHP 998,000 (down from the standard retail price of PHP 1,068,000) for the Sleek Black interior configuration, valid until June 30, 2026.
If you’re hesitant about shifting to an EV, the reliability backing is massive. GAC has spent 20 years collaborating with manufacturing giants like Toyota and Honda, ensuring top-tier build quality.
To guarantee complete peace of mind, GAC Philippines supports its nationwide network of 30 dealerships with an exceptional warranty package: 8 years or 160,000 km for the vehicle, 8 years or 200,000 km for the core battery and electric system, plus two years of free roadside assistance. Reservations are officially open nationwide, making it the perfect time to effortlessly step into the future of driving.
